«Juegos de la edad tardía» is the novel by Luis Landero, published by RBA in paperback (394 pages, in Spanish).
Gregorio Olías, a grey office worker, revives his youthful dreams when he meets Gil by phone, a mature man who idealises him. Driven by that admiration, Gregorio transforms into Faroni, a successful artist that neither of them ever became, and the shared fiction becomes an increasingly dangerous game.
